General Description
Ioxaglate Meglumine is an ionic, dimeric iodinated X-ray contrast medium. As a low-osmolality ionic dimer, it occupies a unique position between conventional ionic monomers and non-ionic dimers in the contrast agent spectrum, combining ionic dissociation with a reduced particle-to-iodine ratio.
Mechanism of Action
Ioxaglate Meglumine provides radiographic contrast through high-density iodine atoms that attenuate X-ray beams. Its ionic dimeric structure, containing six iodine atoms per molecule with only two dissociable particles, results in a lower osmolality ratio compared to conventional ionic monomeric contrast agents while maintaining ionic dissociation characteristics.
Application
Used in diagnostic imaging for angiography, urography, and computed tomography (CT). Ioxaglate Meglumine is a low-osmolality ionic dimeric contrast agent that offers reduced osmotic stress compared to conventional ionic monomers while maintaining ionic dissociation characteristics for optimal radiographic density.
